Feline Urgent Rescue of WNC

Sarge's initial task was to prevent animals in the Haywood County Animal Shelter from being put to death. By promoting the relationships between animals and their human partners, Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc. seeks to further the original objective by aiming to reduce the number of stray dogs and cats in Haywood County as well as to enhance their wellbeing. In order to achieve this, we care for the animals in our Adoption Center while we look for their ideal homes and help local animal caregivers wherever we can.

The type of animal(s) involved, the type of neglect/abuse, and a full description of the property and/or owner information must all be provided to Animal Services.

Since we began in 2017, Mountain Pet Rescue, an Asheville, North Carolina-based foster-based animal rescue, has rescued thousands of lives thanks to the love and support of many fosters, volunteers, and donors.

ARF (Humane Society of Jackson County) is not a shelter; it is a network of foster parents. Our primary need is to keep animals in our homes for local adoption or transportation.

We're always here for the animals in our community as Buncombe County's only open-admission animal shelter.

Every animal deserves a life that is worthwhile in our opinion. We're here for humans and pets far beyond love at first sight, offering everything from behavior classes to one-on-one adoption counseling, education, and ongoing care.
